Foreword by Aldous Huxley:
"Here I think one has an enormous area in which the ultimate revolution could function very well indeed, an area in which a great deal of control could be used by not through terror but by making life seem much more enjoyable than it normally does. Enjoyable to the point, where as I said before, human beings come to love a state of things by which any reasonable and decent human standard they ought not to love and this I think is perfectly possible."
Medicine man buried his mother today
Feathers upon his head tell us he is brave
Now thirteen sons and daughters shall carry on her name
Rode his horse on down to the saloon and got himself a drink
The men of the town were too slow to think
Flames flowed through his eyes while the sun sang I want to hear you pray
For his mother the skies they mourned
And no one knew what had happened to her

Death don’t shake hands
But if you wanna dance he’ll dance
Death don’t shake hands
But don’t be afraid to give him the chance
Time is money
Both don’t exist
Mister mister is this the end
Tombstone knocked me over made my bed
Relax look at me he said
Just go run away into the sky be with your friends
Death don’t shake hands
But if you wanna dance he’ll dance
Death don’t shake hands
But don’t be afraid to give him the chance
Time is money
Both don’t make sense
I can’t remember where I came from
The flag’s half mast reveals a solemn frown
That’s where I’m going toward
A land so far from unknown
Yeah death don’t shake hands
But if you wanna dance he’ll dance
Death don’t shake hands
But don’t be afraid to give him the chance
Time is money
Both don’t exist
Death don’t shake hands
But if you wanna dance he’ll dance
Death don’t shake hands
But don’t be afraid to give him the chance
Time is money
Both don’t make sense

Well I've been living life out on the road

It would make my day yeah
Oh maybe take away my pain hey
Oh it would make my day yeah
Well maybe take away my pain hey alright okay
'Cus I grew up not far from here

Are we going anywhere
Yeah will you ever face your fear
It would make my day yeah
Oh maybe take away my pain hey

I've been looking at this heart
All charred up behind museum glass
I took it and put it inside my skin like some fucked up acid trip
And you can watch it on TV yeah
I've the devil’s heart oh
And I really don't care at all no
And yes I wear it upon my sleeve
Well I've the devil’s heart oh
And I really don't care at all no
I'm happily in disbelief
He took me away on my saint’s day (my saint's day)
To spread his ashes from the deepest point
I could find I didn't mind as long as I’d no longer be alive
Did you see me up on your screen oh
I've the devil’s heart oh
And I really don't mind at all no
Did you see me on your screen
I've the devil’s heart oh
And I really don't care at all no
And yes I wear it upon my sleeve

We'd get high on the radio waves
Like a microwave cooking our brains
And it goes on it goes on
Well I don't talk to strangers because I'm the strangest person I know
And it goes on and it goes on yeah
I think I'll stay around here for awhile
Even if there's nothing to do
Oh just to see you
There's a dinosaur in my left brain
And your sister she don't know
But she still calls it home
We'd get high on the radio waves
Like a microwave cooking our brains
And it goes on it goes on
Well I don't talk to strangers because I'm the strangest person I know

Talking about my generation
Everyone having dreams like it's the late 1960's
A bit too late guys we missed the bus
Do you need a 3D printer to make carbon copies of my soul
So all of you can be just as free as me
It would look exactly like a woodcut carving of the first American man
He's in no history books no
'Cus oh he's that guy who went to his tepee to speak with God
While you're busy going places to talk about him
Teacher I know the answer to everything
It's nothing
Fibonacci told me
The original lizard king
You are all starving mannequins
Hands so idle that the devil could give an apple to all your friends
That's what Adam and Eve did
They should've listened to their parents
That's what Darwin did
But you don't approve
Your master plan is fool proof
Pulled the lever at the voting booth
Out came candy
But you don't have a sweet tooth

Jump the gun

Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better world home awaiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better world home awaiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
Lord I told that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this body that you're hauling
Lord I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better world home awaiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave no
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better world home awaiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
I went home my home was lonely
Now my mother she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
Will the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
There's a better world home awaiting
In the sky Lord in the sky
